I’ve loved how the privacy pro crowd are upset for meta staff being surveilled by bosses. Yet many meta staff don’t give two hoots about the monitoring of any of us. Maybe we should role swap 🤨

We need to overwhelm the BBC with complaints about this. This is the most egregious breach of their own impartiality guidelines I can remember. They’re no longer even trying to hide it.

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened. Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah. (h/t
